Off to the Park!

This is not only a fantastic book to engage the imaginations of blind and partially sighted children, it is also a great choice for all children to explore how they use their senses. Adults could use this book to open a discussion about what it feels like to be blind or partially sighted.

Come with us to the park! Which way shall we go? What shall we do? What will we find? An interactive book for ALL children of all ages, with a delightful surprise at the end.Conceived and designed in association with Booktrust, and developed in consultation with children, families and organisations working with blind and partially-sighted children, OFF TO THE PARK is a unique project that seeks to include all children in the reading experience.Containing tactile features, Braille-style numbering, play elements, high-contrast images and a rhythmic rhyming text, this book is designed to create as sensory and involved experience as possible out of a familiar and well-loved journey.

Things we liked:

This interactive, tactile book will appeal to all children who will enjoy exploring the textures while listening to the fun poetic descriptions of a day in the park.
